[DeTomaso] Resurrection

[eb0711 at kolumbus.fi]

I've seen the MSD connector to dizzy have a bad connection causing 
intermitten issues on my buddies car. The same dizzy wire in my car was 
resting on block and wore thru the plastic insulator occasionally 
shorting to block.

FWIW, I once was struggling with carb, fouling plugs and just by 
coincidence had aquired Crane HI6 and PS2(?) coil for another use. Just 
for curiosity wired Crane stuff in with plugs that 6AL refused to fire, 
and the car started without slightest hesistation. Had to take some 
plugs out to ensure myself I wasn't imagining they are sooty. They were 
black and sooty, but begun cleaning up a little around electrodes. MSD 
box was never installed again, although I had no issues with it before 
the self inflicted carb issue. Just appreciated the extra margin for 
error in the middle of figuring ot the other issue.
